Scala IDE for Eclipse 2.0.2 RC1

Jun 22 2012

We are very happy to announce a new release candidate of the Scala IDE for Eclipse! 2.0.2 is
a maintenance release containing only bug fixes.

A final 2.0.2 release will follow in 7 days if no issue is reported. Please help us with
the testing of this candidate, and let us know of any issues that you may encounter.

What’s new?

Better support for JDK 7

The Scala presentation compiler used to (incorrectly) use the running JDK, instead of the one
configured on the build path. Now it will honor the correct JDK, meaning that Eclipse can run on
JDK 6, but your project can compile against JDK 7.

Better support for nested projects

Importing your multi-module project in the Scala IDE has never been a problem. However, compilation
errors in a nested project used to be reported in the top-level project, which was of course
confusing. That is fixed now, and we know the Maven lovers will like it.

Better support for mixed Java/Scala projects

For the many of you working with mixed Java/Scala projects, we have been fixing an annoying issue
related to @throw annotation, which was causing incorrect errors to be reported in the Java editor.
